2025 12 Under 40 Nominations Now Open

Terre Haute, Ind. - Nominations are now open for the annual 12 Under 40 awards, presented by the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce and the Tribune-Star. Established in 2015, the award recognizes young professionals under the age of 40 who are making significant contributions in their workplaces and through volunteer efforts across the community. 

“Each year we receive an abundance of nominations that showcase the inspiring talent and leaders we have in our region,” said Kristin Craig, President/CEO of the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce and a 2016 honoree. “It is a privilege to give them the recognition they deserve.”

The 12 honorees will be recognized during a special ceremony at the Chamber’s 112th Annual Meeting on August 21 at the Terre Haute Convention Center. Each honoree will receive a physical award and will be featured in the 12 Under 40 publication by the Tribune-Star. 

Nominations will close on July 15, and the award recipients will be selected by a committee made up of community leaders.

Nominations can be made by filling out a form online here.

To be eligible, nominees should not turn 40 on or before January 1, 2026. They must live or work in West Central Indiana.
